In tonight's episode, a text arrived with those dreaded words: "Islanders please gather around the fire pit immediately."

Aware of what is to come, Alex muttered: “Never simple is it? Never simple this place. Never an easy ride.”

As they gathered in their couples, the fateful news was delivered in a further text: "Islanders, the public have been voting for their favourite couple. The couple with the fewest votes will be dumped from the island tonight. The safe couples will now be announced in no particular order."

Steph and Josh, who both entered the villa last Sunday night, were announced as the couple with the fewest votes and left the villa.
